Games lubricate the body and the mind.

Benjamin Franklin


The teacher can Games should be interesting to get students’ attention.


1. Finding rhymes is a simple game.
The teacher says a word and the students raise their hands if they find a good rhyme.
Then, they can write them down on their sheet.

If that makes matters easier, I made my own sheet.
You can use it if you want.
At the end the students have to write a poem using all the rhymes they have found.

2. Using tables in class as the ‘spaces’ in the board game, the students roll the dice and move through the class. They have to stand by the table.
Example: The student who will make their way from the door (entrance/exit) to the place where teacher stands (Example: Teacher’s desk) will win.
The game can always be changed.
I put couple of examples how it can work.

Depending how big is the class and how many students are in the teacher can set the standards.
I find that game good as a reward, or for any type of day where all the 'main' work is done.


3. This example might work with: Music, TPR, even games.
Simple things can be used to make sure that FUN is not taken out from the lesson. If the students learn about musical instruments...they can do more...they can make them!
This lesson might be great with the other topics such as recycling.




With ideas like that there is no telling how much more the teacher can do and the students can learn.
Teacher can give rewards for the group that makes the best instruments...
